Re: st: multiple (overlaid) serrbar charts

Thanks - ciplot nearly does it - especially getting rid of one set of
legends (from the twoway rcap and scatter plots).

But I would like a bit more control - to use multiple y axes for
example which I don't think I can get with ciplot - correct me if I am
wrong ?

I looked at the code for ciplot, thanks to Nick, and worked out that
the trick is to use "legend(order(1 2 3)) to drop the redundant
labels from multiple twoway plots.

Futher thanks

Richard
